Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaŪrmilā (ऊर्मिला).—Lakṣmaṇa married Ūrmilā, the daughter of King Janaka and the sister of Sītā. When Lakṣmaṇa went to the forest with Śrī Rāma and Sītā, Ūrmilā remained in Ayodhyā. After the forest life, Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa returned with Sītā. When Śrī Rāma was ruling over the country, two sons were born to Lakṣmaṇa by Ūrmilā. The elder son was named Takṣaka and the second was given the name Chatraketu. At the instruction of Śrī Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa went to the Eastern sea and killed the foresters there and built there a city called Agatī. Takṣaka was made the King of Agatī. Lakṣmaṇa then went to the western sea and killed the Barbarians there and built a city called Candramatī and made Chatraketu the King of that city. Being punished by Śrī Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa drowned himself in the river Sarayū. (See under Lakṣmaṇa). After that Ūrmilā jumped into a pile of fire and reached the world of Viṣṇu. (Uttara Rāmāyaṇa).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
